Alternatively get a Rasperry Pi and a USB memory stick. Load every NES, SNES, Megadrive and Master System ROM onto it and plug in a couple of USB pads. Probably cost less too. Seeing as this is emulating them all anyway what's the difference?

EDIT: *Note that an AC adapter for the USB cable is required to play the system but is not included in the packaging.

Or alternatively if you don't want to pay for your new PS4/Xbox One, why not go to a store at night, throw a brick through the window and just steal one. Costs less, no difference...

Seems like one of those things that my first impression is "ooh, nice idea" but when I actually look at it, and the games it comes with, I realise I'll maybe play them for a few minutes and lose interest or I've played and completed them before.

Nintendo love peddling games that they've asked people to buy dozens of time before though, so can't say I'm surprised (more surprised that people keep buying them).

How much is it going to cost? If they are shrewd and price it fairly cheaply I can see this turning a huge profit. Must cost pennies to produce, and if it's something like £49.99 it'll absolutely fly off the shelves.

I'm not entirely sold on the selection of games available here. There are too many quite early NES games some of which it could be argued don't play that well these days. It's a cool idea but unless there's a way of expanding the library this could prove to be little more than an overpriced plug and play system and as somebody else has already mentioned you can just emulate all of these games for free.
